Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large saucepan, add the curry paste and cook on a medium heat for 2-3 mins. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the browned chicken, lime zest and juice. Add the mango chutney and stir to combine. Season to taste and cover. Gently simmer for 30 mins until the chicken is tender.
Remove the lid and cook for a further 5 mins. Add the green beans, mangoes, whole lime and Thai basil leaves. Add the coriander leaves just before serving with hot jasmine rice and a spoonful of the mango chutney. Finish with a sprinkling of fresh coriander.
